Hi, Share bloody mindedness, I will, I can and I'm going to. Then I focus on the job at hand and concentrate. Eventually it becomes second nature, but I notice I still concentrate on what I'm doing and ignore what is going on around me. I still wander across the footpaths but so far, I haven't been charged with being dunk in charge of the footpath! The brain now automatically waits before another step is taken. It will throw in another step rapidly to catch me stumbling. So much of what I have going on with my health comes back to concentrating on what I'm doing. Multi-tasking when I have problems lets the Genie out of the bottle. I have to stop, refocus and remind myself one task at a time. It is a slow frustrating process, but it is possible. I don't walk like I used to but the slower I walk the worse it becomes. In stepping out the brain is forced to take note with little time for anything else, so it automatically focuses.
Keep trying it is not an overnight learning. Look back at how we learned to walk in the first place. We are not born with the ability, we learn it. This same method is how I broke the habit for sugar or salt. Again, we are not born with the desire, we learn it and the brain latches on to the idea we can't live without it. Good luck. The way I think is if someone else does it, so can I. You just have to be willing.
Cheers
